This is a fantastic documentary on a major figure in the music industry and the Asian American community. I only learned about Ben Fong Torres in the movie "Almost Famous." A journalist myself, this was inspiring. But I really never knew much about him until the documentary. To see people like Elton John, Annie Lebowitz and Steve Martin hold him in such high regards gave me goosebumps. But it goes even deeper than that. A must watch.

Count me in on the fans who bought Rolling Stone in the early 70s and was always thrilled to see a profile written by Ben Fong-Torres! This documentary has everything I wanted to learn about his life and career. Not only is it the story of 60s/70s music, it's the story of the counter culture in San Francisco, as well as an Asian American story. I was shocked by what happened to his brother, that was tragic and previously unknown to me. The documentary shows him reconnecting with many famous people from the past, including Steve Martin, Annie Leibovitz, Quincy Jones and Jann Wenner. They probably shot so much footage but they had to trim all of these for time.
